References – Updating SAP ABAP Systems on UNIX and Linux: SAP HANA DB – SUM 2.0 SP03

The procedure below is for upgrade of source system S/4HANA 1610FPS1 system to target system S/4HANA 1809FPS0 showing the Realize Phase – t5 – SUM as below:

Please find other blogs as follows at S/4HANA SQUARE ONE

DISCLAIMER: The purpose of this blog is to provide guidance to fast track your SANDBOX conversion. 

Tool parameters are for shortest overall run time with maximum downtime. Every upgrade/conversion is different. The author will not take over any responsibility of the consequences this may cause.

Recommended OS is SuSE Linux version 12 Patch 1
TIP: Please refer Notes below:
Note 2399995 – Hardware requirement for SAP HANA 2.0
Note 2235581 – SAP HANA: Supported Operating Systems.
Note 2205917 – SAP HANA DB: Recommended OS settings for SLES 12

You can check your operating system version as below:

sid-hdb-s4h:~ # cat /etc/SuSE-release
  SuSE-release SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 (x86_64)
  VERSION = 12
  PATCHLEVEL = 2       

STEP 2: UPGRADE HANA DATABASE

Minimum is HANA 2 Rev 33(S/4HANA 1809FPS0) Rev 36(S/4HANA 1809FPS1) or later as per release note for 1809. The files should be downloaded as per the blog t3 – maintenance planner.

First unpack the archive to folder HANA2_33, CLIENT_33 and LCAPPS_33 together if you need integrated LiveCache so it can be installed as a combined install. In case you already have other plugins you will have to apply them like AFL, etc.

sid-hdb:/sapmedia/ #SAPCAR -xvf IMDB_SERVER20_033_0-80002031.SAR
sid-hdb:/sapmedia/ #mv SAP_HANA_DATABASE HANA2_33
sid-hdb:/sapmedia/ #SAPCAR –xvf IMDB_CLIENT20_003_123-80002082.SAR
sid-hdb:/sapmedia/ #mv SAP_HANA_CLIENT HANA2_33_CLIENT
sid-hdb:/sapmedia/ #SAPCAR –xvf IMDB_LCAPPS_2033_0-20010426.SAR
sid-hdb:/sapmedia/ #mv SAP_HANA_LCAPPS HANA2_33_LCAPPS

TIP: Please refer Note 2372809 – Guideline for Upgrading a SAP HANA 1.0 to SAP HANA 2.0 System.
To upgrade HANA database, you cannot use hdblcm from rel 2. you will get message that
“HDBLCM version ‘2.3.65.0’ cannot be used to install or update additional components of SAP HANA Database version ‘1.00.093.00.1424770727’”. Solution:Use the action ‘update_components’ of the resident HDBLCM under ‘/hana/shared/HDB'”
Also in case yu have HANA database addons, refer Note 2438001 – Unable to perform a HANA database upgrade to revision 122.07 or higher to due installed SAP TRD AFL FOR HANA component

uninstall as root
sid-hdb:/hana/shared/HDB/hdblcm # ./hdblcm --uninstall

sid-hdb:/sapmedia/HANA2_33 # ./hdblcm

Please refer Note 2600030 – Parameter Recommendations in SAP HANA Environments for parameter recommendations. This note contains check scripts which detect SAP HANA version, SAP product installed, etc. and give specific parameter recommendations.

Also refer Note 2469025 – How-To: Upgrading to SAP HANA 2.0

STEP 4: UPGRADE USING SUM

Please extract it as below 2 commands:

as s4hadm
cd /usr/sap/S4H
SAPCAR -xvf /sapmedia/download/SUM20SP03_1-80002456.SAR
as root
ps –ef | grep –i sapup
/usr/sap/S4H/SUM/abap/SUMSTART confighostagent

TIP: Please check that your /windows/drivers/etc/host file contains entry with IP address mapped to hostname vhcals4hci. c:\users\mahesh>type c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts 10.20.130.140  vhcals4hci vhcals4hci.dummy.nodomain vhcals4hcs vhcals4hcs.dummy.nodomain vhcalhdbdb vhcalhdbdb.dummy.nodomain

Open Google Chrome browser (latest version recommended) Enter URL:
https://vhcals4hci:1129/lmsl/sumabap/S4H/doc/sluigui

In case you get screen below please click on Advanced and then “Proceed to vhcals4hci(unsafe)”

TIP: If you get message that Page is Unresponsive just click on Wait.

Enter s4hadm/(password you used before) in the screen below

TIP: SUM MailNotifier can be used to get notified by eMail/SMS when SUM displays a dialog so you don’t have to frequently check it for long running phases. It can be configured at PREPROCESSING PHASE later when you have a break. You need a sender email account like summan@gmail.com with password, recipient email like john.doe@digiwatch.com  or SMS text like 5551234567@vtext.com After this you execute command as root: vhcals4hci:~ # java -jar MailNotifierApp.jar properties=MailNotifierApp.props  I had to add parameter mail.smtp.starttls.enable=true to the above command for gmail account.  Also I had to login to gmail account and then execute link to allow less secure apps. Refer Boris Rubarth’s blog at end for more info.
